Abstract
Sintered Nd–Fe–B permanent magnets exhibit excellent magnetic properties and are widely used in industry as essential components of energy applications [1]. However, these types of magnets could not be used for some commercial applications due to their very low resistance against corrosion in various ambient environments [2–3].
This work lies on a comparative study of the effect of the magnetized fields on the corrosion behavior of NdFeB permanent magnets at different solutions, which are NaCl and Na2SO4. Corrosion resistance was investigated by electrochemical techniques in the aim to monitor the open-circuit potential, the impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the polarization curves. We observe that during corrosion the electrochemical process is influenced by the existence of the magnetic field.
